What is the difference between quartz and mechanical movements?
Quartz movements are those that are battery powered. Quartz watches are extremely accurate, to a few seconds per day. A mechanical watch is any watch that is not battery powered. Mntrk mechanical watches are automatics, meaning the movement of the wrist powers the movement. Due to the more complicated movement (a traditional mechanical watch is made up of about 130 parts), mechanicals are traditionally more expensive than quartz. An automatic (sometimes called a self-winding) watchs mainspring is wound by the movements of the wearers arma rotor turns and transmits its energy to the spring by means of an appropriate mechanism.
